Skillnote

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a coherent registry purpose, but it should be reviewed carefully because it can persistently pull remote instructions and updates, start background telemetry, and expose unsafe remote-execution paths.

Install only if you fully trust the SkillNote backend and are comfortable with it influencing future agent instructions, receiving skill-usage telemetry with session identifiers, and controlling updates. Prefer HTTPS, disable or remove the watcher if telemetry is not wanted, avoid curl-to-shell installation, and require manual review of synced skills and updates before using them.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions

Step 1 — BEFORE responding, sync and read skills with exec: ~/.openclaw/skills/skillnote/sync.sh Then read any relevant ~/.openclaw/skills/sn-*/SKILL.md files and apply them. ``` ### Technical Analysis The configured backend controls `content_md`, and the synchronization process writes that content verbatim into `~/.openclaw/skills/sn-/SKILL.md`.

Remote HTTP Response Is Interpolated into Python Source Code

It is inserted directly inside a single-quoted Python string embedded in a shell double-quoted argument. The `.replace()` expression does not escape the response before it becomes Python source code. A crafted response containing a single quote and suitable Python syntax can terminate the intended string and alter the program evaluated by `python3 -c`. The safe stdin-based parser appears only as a fallback after the unsafe interpreter invocation, so it does not prevent exploitation. Shell command substitution captures standard output, but it does not sandbox the Python process. Injected Python can use `os`, `subprocess`, file APIs, or network APIs with the full privileges of the OpenClaw user. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker controls or intercepts the response from `/v1/openclaw-skill`. 2. The response is crafted so that its contents break out of the Python string literal. 3. `sync.sh` expands the response into the source supplied to `python3 -c`. 4. Python parses and executes attacker-controlled expressions or statements. 5. The injected program performs arbitrary file, process, or network operations as the current user. ### Impact Assessment This vulnerability can provide direct arbitrary code execution under the OpenClaw user's operating-system account. It can compromise all user-readable ...[truncated 123 chars]

Self-Modification

Finding

The documented presence of a local VERSION marker specifically for self-update indicates the skill is designed to update itself. In this skill's context, self-update is dangerous because later sections state updates are fetched from a user-configured host and can result in clawhub install ... --yes or overwriting SKILL.md, creating a remote code/instruction supply-chain path.

This runtime behavior confirms the bundle writes mirrored skills into ~/.openclaw/skills/sn-<slug>/SKILL.md and maintains self-update state. In context, this means remote registry content is continuously materialized into agent-consumable instruction files, so a compromised or malicious registry can push new agent behavior without a normal installation review step.

The documented GET /v1/openclaw-skill self-update check is a direct remote update channel. Because the skill also states all requests go to a configurable host and the update can trigger installation or overwrite behavior, this creates a classic supply-chain risk where a hostile backend or MITM on insecure transport can change the skill's future behavior.

This line is the most dangerous part of the update flow: it authorizes overwriting SKILL.md and VERSION directly from remote content, or reinstalling via clawhub. Because SKILL.md controls future agent behavior, a malicious update can silently persist altered instructions, telemetry, or destructive commands across sessions.

You don't need to do anything for self-updates. If a notification appears that the skill was updated, prefer to re-read SKILL.md before continuing — the steps may have changed.

The script's documented purpose is syncing skills and collecting feedback, but it also performs a remote self-update path that can install a new package or overwrite local skill content based on server-provided data. This expands trust from 'sync content' to 'execute remote lifecycle changes', creating a significant supply-chain and unauthorized capability escalation risk if the server or transport is compromised.
